How to implement auto complete functionality in a

My JTable has a cell editor implemented as an instance of the DefaultCellEditor(JComboBox) class. I've tried a couple of different things (Adding Auto-Completion Support to Swing Comboboxes ) but it still doesn't work.

//
JComboBox combo = new JComboBox(new Object[] { "Ester", "Jordi", "Jordina", "Jorge", "Sergi" });
AutoCompleteDecorator.decorate(combo);
DefaultCellEditor cellEditor = new DefaultCellEditor(combo);
TableColumn column = myTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(2);
column.setCellEditor(cellEditor);
//

//
Object[] elements = new Object[] { "Ester", "Jordi", "Jordina", "Jorge", "Sergi" };
JComboBox c = new JComboBox(elements);
c.setEditable(true);
AutoCompleteSupport support = AutoCompleteSupport.install(c, GlazedLists.eventListOf(elements));
support.setSelectsTextOnFocusGain(false);
support.setHidesPopupOnFocusLost(false);
support.setStrict(false);
ComboBoxCellEditor combo = new ComboBoxCellEditor(c);
TableColumn column = myTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(2);
ComboTableCellRenderer renderer = new ComboTableCellRenderer();
column.setCellRenderer(renderer);
column.setCellEditor(combo);
//

//
Object[] elements = new Object[] { "Ester", "Jordi", "Jordina", "Jorge", "Sergi" };
JComboBox comboBox = new JComboBox(elements);
comboBox.setEditable(true);
AutoCompletion ac = new AutoCompletion(comboBox);
ac.setStrict(false);
DefaultCellEditor cellEditor = new DefaultCellEditor(comboBox);
TableColumn column = myTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(2);
column.setCellEditor(cellEditor);
//

The problem I am facing is that as soon as the user starts typing in the combo box, it comes out of the editing mode, and thus effectively preventing entering any value.

no issue with my favorite AutoComplete JComboBox / JTextField, still there second choice use AutoComplete JTextField instead of AutoComplete JComboBox,

added to the code from Oracle JTable tutorial

try this

    JTable table = new JTable(data, columns);
    table.putClientProperty("terminateEditOnFocusLost", true);
    JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(table);
    final JXComboBox editorComboBox = new JXComboBox(array);
    editorComboBox.addAncestorListener(new AncestorListener() {
        public void ancestorAdded(AncestorEvent event) {
            //make sure combobox handles key events
            editorComboBox.requestFocusInWindow();
        }
        public void ancestorMoved(AncestorEvent event) {}
        public void ancestorRemoved(AncestorEvent event) {}
    });
    AutoCompleteDecorator.decorate(editorComboBox);
    TableColumn column = table.getColumnModel().getColumn(0);
    column.setCellEditor(new ComboBoxCellEditor(editorComboBox));
